Should I get the first maintenance after driving 500 km in three months for a new car?

Maintenance is unnecessary at this point. Currently, the first maintenance for vehicles is generally set at either 3,000 km or 5,000 km, with a time frame of three months or six months. The requirements may vary slightly depending on the car manufacturer. Below is some relevant information: First car maintenance: Essentially, the first maintenance for a car primarily involves servicing the engine oil, which has two limiting factors—the oil must not deteriorate, and the impurities within the oil must not be excessive. Excessive engine mileage: Engines are equipped with oil filters to remove impurities. However, if the engine is driven for too long, the oil filter may not fully capture all contaminants, and wear particles from components can easily mix into the oil, potentially damaging the engine. For new cars, engine wear is particularly severe within the first 1,000 km of driving. After that, engine wear tends to stabilize. Therefore, during the first maintenance of a new car, the engine oil often appears black in color. As a car owner, it is advisable to perform maintenance as early as possible.
